Forecasts

Kitchakal (5/2), Command Pilot (11/4), Officer In Command (5/1), French Flame (5/1), New Mexico (15/2), Teatime Tipple (8/1), Harley Street (8/1), Down By The River (9/1), Pieter Both (33/1), Super Fast (33/1)

PIETER BOTH took a huge step back in the right direction again last time and has strong claims. Kitchakal is the pick of the remainder, while Command Pilot also demands scrutiny.
